Story behind the song
I came up with this hook and idea, as an opposite message to "His Last Name" because our teens should never feel pressured into doing anything they don't want to do. Brought in my awesome cowriter and friend Dian to polish up my rough lyrical ideas and cowrite the melody with me and I think we sure made a great team. Gina Paoni did an awesome job with the demo for us. We also have a first person version I'll post later.
Lyrics
NO MEANS NO
Colleen Laylon-Frost BMI,2008 Dian Roberts Piper, BMI 2008
V1
STARTED OUT IN GRADE SCHOOL, SHE HAD IT BAD FOR YOU
SHE THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE SO COOL, HOW YOU LIKE TO BREAK THE RULES
SHE BLEW YOU SWEET NOTHIN'S, BUT YOU NEVER WOULD GIVE IN
TO THAT SKINNY LEG-GED, BLOND PETITE, WITH BRACES ON HER TEETH
V2
HALFWAY THROUGH JR. HIGH, SHE LOST HER METAL SMILE
YA TOSSED A PAPER FOOTBALL, IT READ CAN I BE YOUR GUY?
SHE TOOK A BIG CHANCE, GOING TO THAT FORMAL DANCE
YOU AND YOUR, ROAMIN HANDS, YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
CHORUS:
NO MEANS NO..
IT DONT MEAN MAYBE, IT DONT MEAN YES,
IT DONT MEAN YOU CAN JUST SECOND GUESS
KEEP YOUR FINGERS OFF HER DRESS,
SHE'S GOT A LITTLE MORE SELF RESPECT
BOY, NO MEANS NO..IT DONT MEAN YES.
V3
SHE WAITED FOR SO LONG, TO GO TO THE SR PROM
DYIN' TO SHOW YA HER DRESS, AND DANCE THAT FIRST SLOW SONG
LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT, IF YOU LOVE HER THEN YOULL WAIT
CAUSE SHE WO-NT, HESITATE, TO SLAP YOU UPSIDE YOUR FACE
BOY CAUSE...
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
BRIDGE:
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?-(SPOKEN)
OH YOU'RE MOVING WAY TO FAST,
SHE WON'T FALL FOR THAT.
CAR RAN OUTTA GAS
NOW, HER DADDY'S GONNA KICK YOUR..
REPEAT CHORUS (FADE OUT)
